No. If I saw this I would probably scream and swim as fast as possible to my boat and never return to the sea. Ok, I’m exaggerating, but the point I’m trying to make is whomever was brave enough to catch this little guy for food is one to thank.
“Shrimp” comes from a middle eastern word meaning “pygmy” – or small . Shrimp was consumed in Asia dating as far back as the 7th century and was not harvested in the US until around the 17th century. Today, shrimp is considered one of the most valuable and most popular seafood options in the US. (Social fish farm)
There are hundreds of different species of shrimp in the world. (It would be time consuming for us, and most likely boring for you if we were to dissect every detail of every species - maybe if we write a book someday – more to come). However, there are five species that are most commonly harvested. In simplistic terms these species are: pink, white, brown, royal red and rock shrimp. In case you are interested, the anatomy of a shrimp is quite complex!
Now that you have a basic understanding of what a shrimp is, we’re ready to explore and discover all the benefits and glory this little guy brings!
